Leg extensions (due integrated compass)

[walko]

Hi... I would like more space for future gimbal and mobius camera...
there are cheap landing gear skids, they would be perfect, but problem is lastest phantom versions have integrated compass.

I found this alternative, but I don´t know if someone tested.
It seems for old phantom (maybe less weight)

could be compatible with phantom vision? (and "bad idea" integrated compass?). In this way I think can avoid that problem.

do you know other option to rise 4-5 cm my vision to get more space?

thanks¡

The integrated compass housing will get in the way of mounting those extensions...

Not sure why you'd need 4-5cm of extra clearance. I have 1cm of extra clearance and my H3-3D + GoPro clear the ground just fine.

You can try these extensions:

Best to make sure the compass' cord is long enough to use the first two methods.

I have an IRC 600 vTx, so I'm using these extensions with integrated vTx housing.

Hi, yes, you are correct, but I was thinking install in alternative way: two screws up landing gear, and two screws under. I think in this way, compass doesn´t interfere.

but maybe I will have new problem: when recording or photo... could be I record too these extensions...

thanks... this option would be perfect¡¡¡¡ https://www.shapeways.com/product/45SWF ... d=42189154 but price is crazy.

I´m thinking about 2-3cm, at least, because my plan is use a gimbal for Vision camera, and under it, attach a mobius camera (2cm) to record video and photo at same time (and mobius have a fantastic video quality).

other options seems ok too, but I will need (to use that extensions) extend compass cable too inside (for sure it´s short)

thanks¡¡
